It came as a jarring gut punch given that the injury now ensures five new starters will make up next year's offensive line, and despite Schefter's initial report, it really could end up worse.

Since training camp hasn't opened, Pouncey will be eligible to open camp on the active/PUP list, something that would cost him the first six games. It's not out of the question -- the Dolphins bye comes in week four, so he'd end up missing the first five games anyway.

All of which led to -- of course -- a mix of anger and defeated sadness from Fins fans.

I'm actually pretty happy about how this Dolphins season is turning out so far. Top-5 pick still in play. HUZZAH!
